Barry: 'We’ve got to do something about these Asians coming in'

Former DC mayor and current city councilman Marion Barry publicly stated that DC needs to get rid of Asians and Asian businesses. Where's the media outrage for this hateful and blatantly racist comment?

Celebrating his victory in the Democratic primary on Tuesday night, Barry spoke up about the prominence of businesses owned by Asians in the District.
“We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops,” Barry said in remarks first reported by WRC-TV. “They ought to go. I’m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”
